Signature Theatre is presenting the world premiere of the latest work from the composer of ”The Great Comet”.
Signature Theatre has released photos of its world-premiere production of Octet, the latest work from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 composer Dave Malloy. Directed by Annie Tippe, the production will run through June 16 in the Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center, with opening night set for Sunday, May 19. Check out some of the photos below.
Adam Bashian, Kim Blanck, Starr Busby, Alex Gibson, Justin Gregory Lopez, J.D. Mollison, Margo Seibert, Kuhoo Verma, Jonathan Christopher, and Nicole Weiss will star.
The creative team will include Or Matias (music supervision and music direction), Amy Rubin & Brittany Vasta (scenic design), Brenda Abbandandolo (costume design), Christopher Bowser (lighting design), and Hidenori Nakajo (sound design).
The musical is described as follows: "Featuring a score for an a cappella chamber choir and an original libretto inspired by internet comment boards, scientific debates, religious texts, and Sufi poetry, Octet explores addiction and nihilism within the messy context of 21st century technology. It is the first musical Signature has produced since its founding in 1991."
